De Palma’s wildly successful adaptation of
Stephen King’s novel portrays a high schooler (Spacek, in an
Oscar-nominated breakthrough role) who discovers she has the power
of telekinesis. Mercilessly bullied at school and secluded from the
world by her evangelical, sexually repressed mother (Laurie),
Carrie gets her chance to bring the house down on her classmates in
the infamously blood-spattered prom scene. This disturbing
and stylish horror classic established De Palma as one of the most
iconoclastic filmmakers of the era.
